Quick Links

This guide provides steps to run the out-of-box Sensor-to-Cloud example. This kit allows you to view and
control sensors on a Sub-1 GHz network from the cloud. All the devices in the kit are preprogrammed with
required software. The kit includes two methods of operation: a cloud-connected gateway and a local
gateway. The cloud-connected gateway lets you leverage cloud services such as
Services™
(AWS) and
within a local IP network for privately managed networks that do not require external connectivity. It is
important to note that the design lets you quickly add any desired cloud service.
